ThermalsNowWeSound: Slicker, fuller and more accessible than anything the scrappy, power punk three-piece has done before. In fact, the snappy riffs, sing-along choruses and earnest vocals on Now We Can See could have comfortably shared mainstream rock radio space alongside Everclear and Weezer in the ‘90s.
Heavy Rotation tracks: none
Medium Rotation tracks: “We Were Sick”; “I Let It Go”; “Liquid In, Liquid Out”; “How We Fade”
Recommended: Long-time fans of the band are likely to question this move towards a more commercial sound, but it does result in a pretty hummable, enjoyable listen. Too bad the songwriting quality doesn’t quite match the catchiness of these tunes—several good songs on here, no great ones.
